Default O school admission stadards - 2yr Comm Coll Assoc degree?

I just read where the admission standards at the O school would be dropping to accept students with a two year associates degree from a community college???
Then when I was at my brothers office a alum he works with sometime said it was in his alum newsletter? Think that will be the case for all the schools or just that one?

Please read the requirements of pod school for any of the schools. NOWHERE does it say you need to complete a bachelor's degree.

Same could be said about most medical schools as well. All you need is the minimum amount of credits, completed required courses, and MCAT

Point taken, I would like to see the bar raised though. I think it would be good for street cred. I'm sure most doctors from Harvard, Standford, etc..... had at least a BS or BA.

What bar? It only states minimum stats. If you showed the percentage of students who don't have bachelor's being quite high, then perhaps you would have made your point. However, you haven't bothered to do so.
